Belgian artist René Magritte toyed with perspective and reality, creating surreal works through real, ordinary settings and mundane objects. In his 1953 painting Golconda, Magritte replicated and multiplied male figures suspended midair likening them to raindrops and exploring ideas of the tension between individuality and group identification. Paying homage to Magritte, photographer Andrew Matusik shot a Magritte-themed editorial for Genlux Magazine’s Winter 2008 issue, recreating Golconda with female figures.
